Given surplus over lifespan @ 10% of energy generation is more than enough to assume solar is going to be energetically self-sustaining as a sector. Before 4x expanding solar push in 2023 they hit solar generation/production breakpoint

No offense, "Realm of math" is useless autistic framing. We're in the realm of politics and policy. Numbers rising or falling are execution noise, downstream of intent and implementation. PRC's 13th/14th Five-Year P

PRC nuclear isn't "slowing" it's on pace/steady relative to latest 5 year plan, but pace of renewables like solar have simply exploded relative to forecast. The TLDR is there was dicey 2010-2020 period post Fukushi
